Layered Card with Gelatos


I made a card today with a few goals in mind.  This weeks Papertrey Ink Make It Monday shares how to use Gelatos to create a glow (I am always keen to try new techniques with my Gelatos).  I also wanted to create a layered masculine card.  
I stamped the the medallions on a white tag using 3 different shades of blue ink.  I applied a vibrant yellow in the centres of the medallions using the technique shared by Melissa Phillips for Make It Monday.  I also brushed the same bright lemon yellow along the edge of the tag.  I swirled a softer butter yellow allover the tag.  I scribbled the lemon Gelato on my craft mat, added water than sprinkled it on my stamped card based for some yellow splatters.
Stamps used are various from Papertrey Inks sets; Round Repeats, Watercolor Wonder and Uncorked.

I'm linking this card up to Virginia's View Challenge as well as Make It Monday.
